The house project was approved on June 19 1927 as an experimental structure on «Melnikov system», the idea which consisted in prohibition of round building for massive housing.
Since the end of 2014, the house museum has been open for visitors. The visit is organized by preliminary registration, with excursion groups.
1929
The volumetric composition of the house consists of two vertical cylinders of the same diameter, which are of different heights and cut into each other by a third of the radius, thus forming an unusual shape of the plan in the form of the number "8".
The side walls of the front cylinder are practically blank - only on the first floor are several hexagonal windows, and one octagonal window is arranged on the west side at the level of the second floor. The side walls of the front cylinder are practically blank, with only the first floor having several hexagonal windows.

The main facade of the theater overlooks the pier of the Volkhov River, but from Alexander Nevsky embankment there is a more interesting view on the building.
The two cylindrical towers on the sides of the theater were supposed to play the role of water towers for acting fountains. But the fountains were never launched.
